Disappointed Customer Service

I was very disappointed with the customer service of String Zone. I am interested in a high-end carbon fiber violin bow and sent email for enquiry. Unfortunately, no reply so far despite 3 emails were sent in the past week. How could I place order for a high-end violin bow without any communication with customer services.

Message time line:

2. 25 Feb 2026: 9:30 HK time
3. 26 Feb 2026: 23:21 HK time

You should be able to locate them in your email account. I could send copy of messages to you if needed.

I just send an email for enquiry on 5 March: 9;30 HK time. Hope to receive String Zone soon.

Gigging musician.

As a gigging musician I've used this company many times for fiddle strings.
Their prices are competative and the delivery service is second to none.
I'd highly reccomend The String Zone.

I can't praise Max and Emma at The String Zone highly enough. Very quick to respond, process orders and sort delivery in no time.
Very professional and friendly, highly recommended.

Sent me tons of spam

Sent me tons of spam even though I didn't sign up. Keep on emailing about 'points' too. You don't have my permission to do this and it's not legal
